Purchasing a Gen1 Raptor

[dmayyy]

Hello, I currently own a 2021 f150 XLT. I want a vehicle I can off-road in and have some fun with and am looking to trade it in. I can get 1,000 more for it then I paid and my dealer has a gen1 on the lot. It has 77k miles and clean carfax. My only issue is 39k is as low as I can get them. I see people getting similar mileage raptors for 30k a couple years back. The market is so screwed up right now I’d just hate to buy it and a few months down the road the value fall back down. Which, at some point will happen with my 21 as well.
What is everyone’s thoughts would love to hear opinions. Thanks

I checked underneath for scratches, dents etc. and it seems it hasn’t been used much off-road.

We need to know more about the truck you're looking at. Year, options etc.

Welcome to the place, maybe post the link so we can look at it or at least a couple pics.

Need pictures and/or more info. I really don't see the market coming back to reality any time soon. If the truck is in good shape, 39K is not a bad price.

More information would help on if the price would be good. $39,000 is ballpark but so many questions need answered.

I would do a really good check for rusted cab corners and rocker panels, if no rust damage and you can get it at $39,000 I say go for it!

Look good in the pics, but you really need hands on with it to fully know if its a good deal. Like what the underneath looks like (rust/damage) are there any signs of abuse like bed spreading and bed to cab marks. Rubberized undercoating (not wool wax or fluid film that stuff is gtg) on frame is bad and may be hiding something and or causing rust.
I know it looks great in a photo but i know for a fact in my job (detailing) i can make a **** look good lol. Good luck op if its as good as the pic its a decent deal

It's a good looking truck. Prices are crazy now. Depends how bad you want it. For reference, I have a 2013 , more options and half the miles, same price late 2019.

When looking for any used vehicles I only look at CA, NV and AZ. No rust.
